It is the epic story of the Sￃﾡnchez family, told entirely by its members Jesￃﾺs, the 50-year-old patriarch, and his four adult children as their lives unfold in the Mexico City slum they call home. Weaving together their extraordinary personal narratives, Oscar Lewis creates a sympathetic but ultimately tragic portrait that is at once harrowing and humane, mystifying and moving.An invaluable document, full of verve and pathos, The Children of Sￃﾡnchez reads like the best of fiction, with the added impact that it is all, undeniably, true.
